Loved “Psalm for the Wild Built.” Another quote I quite enjoyed:
“Do you not find consciousness alone to be the most exhilarating thing? Here we are, in this incomprehensibly large universe, on this one tiny moon around this one incidental planet, and in all the time this entire scenario has existed, every component has been recycled over and over and over again into infinitely incredible configurations, and sometimes, those configurations are special enough to be able to see the world around them. You and I—we’re just atoms that arranged themselves the right way, and we can understand that about ourselves. Is that not amazing?”
Yep, I recall that one too. A way to put things into perspective. I’ve heard somewhere how when we are young, we want to be significant. But when we get older and wiser, it’s the feeling that we are part of something bigger that matters more.
